Australia condemns LA Police for rubber bullets after quietly arming our own
Australia condemns LA Police for rubber bullets after quietly arming our own
Isn't Australian society very similar to American conservative crap?
Not nearly to the same extent as America, but in general, yes. Same direction, just less extreme.
We also voted against the Trump crap last election, I'd imagine if America had preferential and mandatory voting they would have too
No.
Unlike the MAGA movement, most of Australia's right wing are neither Vatnik, nor Fascist. I mean, there are those as well, like Clive Palmer, but he is a spam pest and a joke - most people think he is ridiculous. So no.
Yes, alas pretty much
Australia's hypocrisy is ubiquitous on much of this
Australia has the worst record of any nation for jailing and abusing climate protestors, as one example of perhaps not throwing stones
Australia leads the world in arresting climate and environment protesters
We regually kill people in custody, yet to see any black lies matter protests in Australia becase we give few fucks.
I find the entire thing bemusing as though we aren't sone of the worst arseholes in the world, we send people who legally arrive in Australia to internment camps off shore, were they are treated so badly they suicide. We deport "criminals" overseas Now (like the US is doing) we sieze and copy peoples computers and phones at the border, we have invasive anti privacy laws and when some other country does it we get "oh my god" here.
We recently did have protests because of the recent death in custody in the NT. But you're right, they're not terribly large.
Even the weekly Palestinian protests are larger.
...by entering into a data center agreement with America!
I read the headline as Australia was arming their journalists and I was confused by the escalation.
That would actual be pretty funny to start with. Rubber bullet stand offs between journos and the American brown shirts. You know, before USA starts “accidentally” hitting journos with $3.5 million dollar missiles a la Israel style.
Then Kelloggs releases a new porridge filled with red dye called “Oops! All journalists!” and taco serves it to foreign ambassadors in what would be a terrifying gesture if he didn’t spend the entire meal dancing on the table with those geriatric “I want to move but not fall over” dance moves.
Whether you like it or not, I had a lot of fun writing this absolute bullshit XD
